fig.1 (x4) 

fig.1        fig.2 
Warm on your cold heart 
             fig.1    fig.2 
Cool on your hot head 
  fig.1 fig.2                fig.1 
A worn  blanket statement of innocence 
  fig.2 fig.1 
A way   out 
  fig.2             fig.1 
A way to keep lying honest 
   fig.2        fig.1 
If restless and frantic

And you, a breaking man 
     D       C#       F# 
I've studied your shaking hands 
    E       D      F# 
And this, a pretty jail 
  E      D         fig.1 fig.1 
Bliss, a beautiful jail

fig.1  fig.2                 fig.1        fig.2 
Hot    coffee's melting this plastic cup 
    fig.1  fig.2             fig.1 
And cold,  I can't dial this tiny phone 
   fig.2  fig.1 
To find   you 
        fig.2          fig.1 
And no, you don't seem pathetic 
     fig.2        fig.1   
Just restless, frenetic
